What Bible translation do you use and why? Do you use a different translation or paraphrase for devotional reading than you do for Bible study?

[Austin]

I use the NASB because it is the easiest for me to understand and is supposed to be the closest to the original texts for accuracy. I don’t do devotional readings but have started to use Accordance and Blue Letter Bible for any other study help that I need.

[Austin]

I primarily read NIV, for numerous reasons, including it is what we read from in our church services and Bible studies. I use the online Blue Letter Bible to easily switch between translations and dive into the Greek and Hebrew concordances it contains. Sometimes I enjoy the NLT because it is so readable, but I’m told to be cautious in using it for interpretation.

[Austin]

We use the NLT for Devotional or longer readings, and ESV or NIV for Bible Study.

[Austin]

I use the NIV Bible and a Greek translation.
